To all whom it may concern:

Be 'it known that l, Leo GESCHICKTER, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing .at

ashington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mothproof Bags and Garment-Supporting Devices Therefor; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others'skilled 'in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

.This invention relates tonew and usefnl improvements in moth-proof bags and means therein for supporting garments i11- dependent of the bag, and comprises a receptacle or bag in which a removable rack or frame is mounted and which may be removed when it is desired to fold the bag into a compact ferm.

Theinvention comprises various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

l illustratemy invention in the accompanying drawings, in which r* Figure l Ais a perspective View of a portion j tering apertures S of a bag -vor receptacle, a portion of the top of thebag being broken away to better illus-.`

trate the invention. Fig. 2 is a detail view of a rack forming a part of the invention. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the top of the bag or receptacle, showing eyelets mounted at one side of the transverse center of the'top, and Fig. 4f is a sectional view longitudinally through the upper end of the bag with the rack adjusted 1n place therein.

Reference now being had to the details of 'the drawings ,by letter, A 'designates a bag of any suitable shape and material, such as canvas, and which may be treated 'chemically or otherwise in order to render the same more effectual in resisting the attacks of vermin and which may be water or weather proof. The bag shown is preferably rectangular in lcross section and is closed at its top and which latter is provided with eyelets B mounted in reinforcin@r strips C which are positioned at one side ofh the transwhich are garments.

'and handle has been ing the bag to be folded into. a compact verse center of the bag in order to allow the v.same to fold along the central line without interference from said eyelets.l A rack, desletter D, of general rectangular shape to conform to the shape of the bag, is the closed upper end' of the bag, and screws F pass through said eyelets and holes l formed in the cross-pieces D o-f the rack and engage the socket members E countersunken in the under faces of said cross-pieces. A bail-shaped suspending handle K has at right angles at K', and eyes K2 at their ends through which'said screws pass. Upon reference to Fig. ltof the drawings, it will be noted that, when the handle is adjusted in place, the vertical portion thereof will come along the center ofthe bag in order to allow the same to hang perfectly plumb and, by which provision, the eyelet being at one side of the center along the folding line will not interfere with the bag when folded to compact form for storage or shipment. A bail N is fastened to the under surface of the rack and forms means upon which the garments may be held.

Any suitable means'for holding the openo the bagclosed to form a tight joint may be employed, clamp theliaps R upon opposite edges of the opening and which strips are held together by screws T passing through regisand adapted to socket member, not shown, similar to the member E illustrated in Fig. li.

By the provision of a moth-proof bag and garment supporting device therefor as shown anddescribed, it will be noted that,` when the bag or receptacleis adjusted foi` use, the rack'willtend to hold the bag distended and the weight -oi'' the garments contained within the bag or receptacle is thrown us relieving the entirely upon the rack, t bag of anyA strain incident vto the weight of screws pass for fastening the supporting handle being at one side of the center line of the top will allow the bag to fold without interference from said eyelets after the rack removed, thus allowform.

What l claim to be new is l. A collapsible moth-proof bag and garengage a rlhe eyelets through which the.

shank portions bent upper closed en 4nient supporting device therefor comprisj ing, in combination with a bag having closed upper end and suitable opening in the body portion thereof, a rack havin cross-pieces and mounted in the top of the bag above the. upper edge of the opening therein, a bailf shaped member having a'rms which are bent at right angles and each terminating '1n an eye, screws passing. through said eyes, the top of the bag and engaging said crossieces, the bail-shaped portion o'f said mem- Eer being positioned opposite the longitudinal centers of said cross-pieces, as set forth.

2. A collapsible moth-proof bag substantially rectangular in cross section and having its upper end permanently closed with an opening in one corner terminating at its upper end a short distance from the upper end of the bag, aY rack mounted within the d of the bag and holding the same extended its width, iaps projecting from the marginal edges of the o ening, clamping means for holding said aps in contact with each other to form a tight joint,

passing through said eyes and top o and means fastened to the top of the bag and .2 5 rack for supporting the bag, as set forth. 3. A collapsible moth-proof bag and garment supporting device therefor comprising, in combination with the bag with closed upper end and a suitable opening in the body portion thereo a garment supporting rack'within the upper'por'tion of the bag, eyelets formed in the top of the bag at one side of the transverse center thereof, reinforcing strips about said eyelets, a bail- 35 shaped member' having angled shank portions and eyes at the ends thereof, screws f the bag, and socket members seated in said rack and engaged by the inner ends of said 40 screws, asset forth. f

In testimony whereof I hereunto aiiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. LEO GESCHICKTER.
